Important steps were taken by SM Investments Corporation (SM Investments) to maintain inclusiveness and diversity throughout the company.

Diversity acknowledges the distinctions and variety among the social groupings and cultures that make up humanity. Age, gender, sexual orientation, handicap, race, ethnicity, country of origin, religion, economic status, and other factors can all be included in this. In order for everyone, regardless of background, to realise their full potential in life, social inclusion is the process by which efforts are made to ensure equal opportunities for all.

As a significant step in this direction, SM Investments joined over 3,000 other corporate leaders worldwide in pledging support for the United Nations Global Compact Women Empowerment Principles (WEPs).

The WEPs are a collection of guidelines for businesses on how to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment in the workplace, market, and community, and were developed by UN Global Compact and UN Women.

This came after SM Supermalls announced its support during National Women’s Month in March 2021.

As a whole, SM is remarkable in empowering women thanks to the presence of several female executives. With 63% of its workforce being female and 58% of senior leadership positions filled by women, it offers equal chances. In order to reflect the diversity of the consumers and communities it serves, it also keeps a mix of employees from different origins, age, and skill levels.
